Not sure I want to contribute this name for this project, but I have a
fictional band that goes by the name of:
"Barry and the Cudas"
One of the members is known as "The Barry" - but "The Barry" is a
floating
title...

Paul's point is reasonable but I'm more aligned with virtual
collaboration presenting fewer challenges of the variety I've
encountered. YMMV.
I wanted to comment on a couple other messages - Hey Marc, I wouldn't be
AT ALL surprised if this turns out fine. Great even. Given the thin
talent I have access to here, umm...myself included, if the players here
are accomplished and talented, and I've listened to some postings that
suggest so, and if the base track proves empowering and fruitful, and if
folks apply themselves, I truly believe that EVEN a complete work or
album is possible.
Julien - that's a good name for the project. Maybe even the band.
Other names for the "band" acknowledging its virtual nature might be:
Cloud
Ghost
Strangers
Links
whatever... People spend months/years arguing with, fighting
with, crying over,
and struggling to find people that they can compatibly make music
with. Sometimes, it never works out. So you remove the human
interaction element,
On the contrary, enabling people to find others to make music with
over the internet, without having to hop a plane or plumb the depths
of local "musicians wanted" ads, should create more opportunities for
group composition. It also provides a way for people who really
dislike live music to find people to work with without the
annoying "Hey man, let's get together and jam" booty call
equivalents.
Besides, what is this list if not interactive?
